October Retreat 2003 The retreat started on Friday, officially at check in, unofficially long before that. Thursday afternoon I arrived with Anne from England and Anne from Tennessee, after a bit of sightseeing in route (and I will stick to that story!) The rest of the ladies were shopping on the way to Bird-in-Hand, and arrived with lots of packages to prove it. |
